Protein function (UniProt)

Mitochondrial fission factor

Plays a role in mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission (PubMed:18353969, PubMed:23530241, PubMed:24196833). Promotes the recruitment and association of the fission mediator dynamin-related protein 1 (DNM1L) to the mitochondrial surface (PubMed:23530241). May be involved in regulation of synaptic vesicle membrane dynamics by recruitment of DNM1L to clathrin-containing vesicles (By similarity)
